Settling in

Well, in South Louisiana, the best bragging rights you can have is to have completed your evacuation route in stellar time and I win! We made it to Baton Rouge (70 mile trip) in under 2 hours. In a world where it can often take eight hours in evacuation traffic, I can definitely call that great time.

This is what we did for those looking for an alternate route... Normal route would be to take I-10 W all the way here and it usually takes 1 hour. I took Clearview over the Huey P Long Bridge, Hwy 90 to 3127, then took Hwy 70 over the Sunshine Bridge back to I-10 W and sailed into our home away from home in record time.

Since we are not sure how long we will be here, I took the time to unpack today and tomorrow I am going to take a walk/jog around the LSU lakes with my girlfriend who has a 16 month old. Guess we will start to make a life here for now because who knows when we will see our beloved NOLA again.
